Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
- Unbelievably good collegiate wrestler Carter Starocci dropped in to train at American Top Team: On some level, the D-1 All-American to UFC fighter pipeline has dried up, so we could do with more top-notch scholastic wrestlers making the transition.
- Bryce Mitchell hates journalists, talks about Hitler more: Writing this article, I was eternally grateful to not be responsible for a podcast and not ever have to debate “Thug Nasty.” Sounds deeply pointless!
- Seven years ago, Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib was canceled due to last-second injury on April Fools Day: For longtime fight fans, April 1 is “a date which will live in infamy.”
